When a peer sends a BAR frame with PM bit clear, we should
not modify its PM state as madated by the spec in
802.11-20012 10.2.1.2.

BTW latest spec also notes that PSPOLL frame has PM bit reserved too, 
because it may not result in ACK frame from AP.

Comment placement is a little confusing IMO. Maybe move 
ieee80211_is_back_req() check to this position?

PS poll are already handled before in the flow and don't reach this code.

Don't know. It's been merged already. So you'd need to send a patch fixing this if you want :)
